I think its a tragedy to just label one day a week as a “taco” day.
Only Taco Tuesday?!? No. Everday should be taco day.
Meatless Taco Monday! Turkey Taco Thursday! Fish Taco Friday! Shrimp Taco Saturday! I can’t think of anything with a “W” for Wednesday!
I made up this recipe today to satisfy my taco lust. I love shrimp, I love mangoes, I love sweet & spicy things…so, here’s my newest food baby.
Cajun-Spiced Shrimp Tacos with Mango Heirloom Salsa
- 1 lb. Frozen, raw shrimp thawed, peeled and de-veined
- 1 TBS Cajun seasoning
- 1/2 tsp. Old Bay seasoning
- 1/8 tsp pepper
- 1 TBS. Olive oil
- Corn tortillas, warmed
- 2 mangoes
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped red onion
- 1 jalapeño, de-seeded and diced
- 1 medium heirloom tomato (I used a yellow one!)
- 2 limes
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Coat shrimp with old bay & Cajun seasoning and pepper. In large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté shrimp 3-4 minutes or until pink. Squeeze a little bit of lime juice on top of the shrimp. Set aside on plate and keep warm.
- In large bowl, mix together mangoes, jalapeño, onion, red pepper, tomato & cilantro. Squeeze juice of 1 lime over the bowl and add salt and pepper. Mix. Refrigerate, covered, at least 15 minutes before serving.
- Warm corn or flour tortillas and add shrimp and top with salsa. Can also add sliced avocado and cabbage. Enjoy!
